Tire wear can provide another clue.Shocks control movement; joints, bushings and steering parts guide the wheels. Noises and tire wear help identify what needs inspection.

Questions about this service.

Will suspension work require an alignment?

It depends on the component replaced and the vehicle design. We review alignment needs as part of the repair plan.

Does bouncing always mean bad shocks?

Worn shocks or struts can contribute, but tires, springs, mounts and other components should also be considered. The inspection should support the recommendation.
